SUPPLEMENTS: A CONSCIOUS AND PERSONALIZED USE
There are no doubts about the usefulness of a conscious supplementation of macro and micronutrients to counteract the consequences of aging. It’s often forgotten, however, how important it is for this supplementation to take place in a personalization plan in which the doctor outlines a path that identifies the patient's real needs: only in this way can integrative therapy be truly functional.

Vitamin and mineral supplementation
Vitamins, minerals and amino acids act in a peculiar way, supporting different organic functions. Due to factors such as aging, stress, poor nutrition or an unregulated lifestyle, it is possible that the production of these nutrients doesn’t respond promptly to the body's real needs. In these cases, therefore, it’s useful to resort to external supplementation, which can be oral, intravenous or topical.
Although there are standard formulas of multivitamins, it’s recommended for the doctor to establish doses and combinations based on in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of each component, so that the therapy is designed to meet the patient's specific needs. Tailored supplementation recognizes individual uniqueness and responds methodically to imbalances, in light of multifactorial considerations that include the singularity of patients and the relationship with the environment.
The personalization of medicine in a functional vision
The personalization of the therapeutic approach is one of the pillars of functional medicine which considers each patient as an individual with peculiar genetic, epigenetic and phenotypic characteristics, whose responses to internal and external stimuli are driven by specific mechanisms. Studying and supporting these responses is essential to outline the most suitable therapy for the needs of each patient, especially from a prevention perspective.
Through a personalized preventive approach it’s possible to slow down or, in some cases, reverse the processes that lead to the development of age-related disorders. To do this, specific tests are used to identify deficiencies and imbalances. The patient is observed to calibrate the supplementation to the body's responses, formulating personalized combinations shaped to respond to the individual needs.
Personalized supplementation as prevention
Working on prevention through personalized vitamin and mineral supplementation is important for the therapy to work effectively. The best thing to do is to rely on a specialist doctor who can set up an ad hoc protocol considering the most suitable combination of nutrients, patient's needs and lifestyle, so as to implement the individual psychophysical well-being. A personalized holistic approach, which considers organic mechanisms as interconnected with each other, is directed towards prevention and physical balance as a whole.
Types of multivitamin supplementation
Once the therapy has been calibrated, the doctor can indicate the most appropriate method of administration: the oral route, simple and immediate but with greater possibility of nutrients dispersion, the topical administration, for the local and superficial treatment of skin problems, and the intravenous way. This last route is the one that guarantees complete assimilation of the solution since it is directly injected into the bloodstream to guarantee optimal bioavailability of vitamins and minerals. Supplementation through drip involves specific cycles based on personalized protocols consisting of a number of sessions proportional to individual needs.
